THERE'S GOOD NEWS TODAY

Anyone remember Gabriel Heater? Jeez, you're old. He would always start his radio news reports by saying, "Ah, my friends, there's good news tonight!" What would happen if someone did that today? I guess they wouldn't make it past the first interview.

But there is good news today and it's being reported by -- choke, gasp, wheeze -- the BBC. This collection of mini-stories (check out all nine of them) are all positive, something I haven't seen from the BBC since day one in Iraq.
